Different cities have different home purchase policies. If there is no purchase restriction in the city, as long as the financial ability is strong, you can buy as many houses as you like; if there is a purchase restriction, a person with a local household registration can own two houses, and a person with a non-local household registration can only own one house, based on the family unit. Foreign residents can only buy one apartment at most. If you buy a property that you already own in your name, you will not be asked to return it, but if you buy it again, you will not be eligible, and taxes will still be collected. At present, some cities have relaxed purchase restrictions, but some first-tier cities still implement purchase restrictions. Usually, if there are purchase restrictions, a person with a local household registration can own two houses, and a person with a non-local household registration can only own one house, which is based on the family unit.

However, national unified real estate registration has not yet been implemented, and husband’s housing, housing reform housing, fund-raising housing, central housing, military housing, welfare housing, etc. are not the same as commercial housing, so at present, It’s almost the same as before. As long as the financial strength is sufficient, a person can have n houses in his name. National laws and regulations do not impose restrictions on the number of houses purchased. There is no limit to the number of properties a person can buy under his name. However, some cities have implemented purchase restriction policies. In some cities with purchase restrictions, a person can only own two houses in his name, otherwise he cannot apply for a loan from a financial institution. This requires distinguishing between different cities and different policy situations. At present, some cities have relaxed purchase restrictions, but some first-tier cities still implement purchase restrictions. Usually, if there are purchase restrictions, a person with a local household registration can own two houses, while a person with a non-local household registration can only own one house, which is based on the family unit. If there is no purchase limit, as long as the financial strength is sufficient, a person can have multiple houses in his name.
